Seeing their gloating expressions, Ning Yuexi found it inexplicably amusing. She said lightly, "I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. Not only is Long Tianji not dead, he has also killed two War Gods…"
"What?!"
"That's impossible!"
"A Martial Arts Battle God is typically on par with a cultivator between the late Golden Core and early Nascent Soul stages! Two War Gods working together, ard with treasures granted by their deity, could even stand up to a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. What could Long Tianji possibly have used to kill them?"
"Ning Yuexi, you have to be lying, right? What's the point of being so stubborn at a ti like this?"
"The one who just sent you the ssage might not even be Long Tianji himself! He could have already been possessed by so deity!"
Neither of them could accept it.
Ning Yuexi couldn't be bothered to waste her breath. "Think whatever you want!"
At that mont, she felt particularly good and was imnsely proud of Lin Tang. Ever since the Mysterious Maiden and the Senior Commander explained that cultivators could be good or evil, righteous or heretical—and that Lin Tang was on the righteous path—the inherited prejudice that had knotted Ning Yuexi's heart finally ca undone. Her hatred for him had dissipated.
Recalling their past, from their initial fierce confrontations to their bafflingly intimate bond… Unconsciously, his image had beco deeply etched into her heart.
Not wanting to deal with the two commanders, she sent Lin Tang a ssage herself.
"Where are you heading now?"
"Revenge, of course!"
Lin Tang also told her what happened with the Skull King. When she heard how close he had co to being possessed, her heart leaped into her throat. She anxiously urged him, "Then you must be extrely careful. The Skull Holy Mountain might have a deity backing it, too. If it's like the Mysterious Maiden, who is overwhelmingly powerful on her own territory, then I suggest you hold back for now. For a gentleman, ten years is not too late for revenge!"
"Don't worry. I got so information from the Skull King's mories. This trip should be fine… Thanks for your concern, my darling wife!"
"Oh, stop being so glib!"
This ti, the Junior and Senior Commanders both heard Long Tianji's voice for themselves. Learning that he was indeed safe and sound, they exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with irrepressible shock and unwillingness.
「On the other side.」
After exchanging a few more playful words with Ning Yuexi, Lin Tang cut the connection.
Traveling like this is still a waste of ti.
He started pestering the Yin Yang Mirror again. "Little sister, can you teleport directly to the Skull Holy Mountain's main camp?"
"I was born before your great-great-grandfather was even weaned! And you have the audacity to call 'little sister'?" the Yin Yang Mirror retorted, speechless.
"Alright then, I'll call you Granny. That should satisfy you, right?"
"You…"
"Hurry up and teleport !"
"Teleport my foot! I could send you directly from the Yaochi Heavenly Palace to your Heavenly chanism Martial Alliance because there's an innate positional lock between you and your Law Body. It doesn't an I can send you anywhere in the world on a whim. Get a grip!"
"Oh, so you're not that useful after all!" Lin Tang said, his tone dripping with disappointnt.
If the Yin Yang Mirror had a face, it would be blazing with anger right now. If it hadn't teleported him to his Law Body in the nick of ti, his Law Body, his woman, and all his subordinates would have been slaughtered! He didn't even say thank you, and now he dared to complain…
"Hey, no need to be like that," Lin Tang said with a wink. "I see you as one of my own, which is why I don't bother with formalities like 'thank you.' It's because I see you as family that I can speak my mind."
"Heh. First, I am not a person. Second, I am not 'one of you.' You'd better maintain so courtesy."
The Yin Yang Mirror decided to ignore him.
In truth, it was secretly impressed. Lin Tang had leaped across the entire Heavenly King realm to reach the Martial Saint stage in one go. The title of 'prodigy' was well-deserved.
Seeing that the Yin Yang Mirror couldn't help, Lin Tang had no choice but to continue flying on his own. Having fused his cultivator's True Qi with his martial artist's internal energy, his power had reached a new level, and his flight speed had increased dramatically. The so-called sound barrier posed no resistance to him; he had spells to nullify it.
Thus, his speed was incomparable to that of a comrcial jet. In just a few hours, he had crossed half the planet, arriving in the West.
「The Skull Holy Mountain headquarters.」
It was a scene of demonic chaos, eerie and sinister. They remained completely unaware that their great Skull King had already fallen at the hands of Lin Tang.
The deity behind them was on a similar level to the Lord of Gluttony, perhaps a notch stronger, but it was far from being as powerful as the Mysterious Maiden.
In the past, Lin Tang's possession-immune Law Body had washed several deities' lairs in blood, slaughtering their believers and destroying their divine statues. This ti, it was his true self. Although he still wasn't immune to possession, he was several tis stronger than before.
So, him against the Skull Holy Mountain headquarters… Was there really any question as to who would win?
Of course, Lin Tang wouldn't underestimate his enemy or act rashly. If he encountered a foe he couldn't defeat, victory and defeat, life and death, were all up to fate. But if he were to lose a winnable battle through carelessness…
He might as well be dead. What a disgrace that would be!
Therefore, upon reaching the Skull Holy Mountain, Lin Tang didn't imdiately launch an attack. Instead, he landed silently on a faraway mountain and began to observe from the shadows.
Damn. The people of Skull Holy Mountain really went all out.
They had carved an entire mountain into the shape of a massive skull. Its interior was hollowed out, crisscrossed with a maze of tunnels extending in all directions like an anthill. All sorts of strange, monstrous experts, not quite human, moved in and out, guarding the various chokepoints.
